~~ Diana's Honey Sesame Chicken Kabobs ~~

 Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup Tahini marinade - See below
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes (You can use any type of meat cut into cubes)
• 2 cloves garlic
• 5 small onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
• 2 red bell peppers, cut into 2 inch pieces
• 2 doz. Cherry tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• Skewers

Directions:

• In a large bowl, whisk together oil, honey, soy sauce, tahini and pepper. 
• Place the chicken, garlic, onions and peppers in the bowl, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours (the longer the better, I usually marinate them for 24 hours.).
• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• Drain marinade from the chicken and vegetables into a saucepan. Add the cornstarch and stir until smooth. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from the heat; set aside.
• Thread chicken and vegetables alternately onto the skewers.

(Hint: I found some 1/4 inch wide skewers or use two skewers instead of to prevent the chicken and vegetables from rotating)

(Hint: put the chicken and vegetables each on spate skewers, that way you can take each vegetable off the grill when they are done)

Baste with honey glaze. Grill 4-6 minutes longer or until chicken juices run clear, turning and basting frequently.
